Ending (*spoilers*)


Why did Yamashita have to go back to prison again for a year? In what way did he break his parole? The cop was even there witnessing Dojima beating up his pregnant girlfriend and smashing up his shop. He didn't even try to defend himself until after the cop showed up.

he slashed the guy with a straight razor across the cheek.

How long might he go to prison?

reply

If I remember well, it is said inthe movie that he may get up to a year in prison.

I thought he was just on his way to a parole hearing and he may not go to prison at all, depending on what the judge decides.
It makes sense that he'd have to have a hearing about it, as he was in a compromising position. The cop could probably testify on his behalf.
The woman did guess he'd go back to prison for a year... but that's just a guess.
